This was the last one. But more like climbing to a tower vs climbing a tower.
I did do a fire tower in Maine but getting to the tower was the hard part.

There were a few around the Memphis area when I was there in the late 70’s/early 80’s. Bunches of people would climb them and party up top.
One really good looking girl with nice long legs jumped off one. Just a nutcase hottie. She didn’t kill herself as intended. Instead she had a near death experience that made her appreciate life and screwed her up physically beyond repair. One side was all shriveled up and twisted from head to toe. She even had one normal butt cheek and the other was half the size. Her left leg was wavy shaped.

Dry Creek, La, lots of times

Yes. Played JC baseball in Mississippi for 2 years. It’s where we would go to have fun.
Nothing like driving 8-10 miles to buy beer because your school was in a dry county then drive back to climb a fire tower and drink beer. The good old days

We would ride our bikes to the lake in the summertime. Have to pass right by one on the way. Stop, hike up the stairs and talk to a La. Forest tech I guess, and he would show us the operation. Then during 4th of July, we would climb it and watch the fireworks, good times.

I used to climb one years ago when I was worried that the bad guys would find me and my mom. Some guy that claimed that he was my dad ended up finding me up there.

Yes
Mt. Ord, AZ
A young college intern girl tending it alone gave us a tour. Incredible view.

used to climb one north of Shreveport years ago, would lug a few beers up there and enjoy the view, doubt it’s accessible anymore

Halfway up the old Corney Lake firetower. But I think it was just ladder steps attached to the side, it wasn't stairs.............. i think.
Posted on 9/9/24 at 8:05 pm to tadman
Several but when I did it there was no kind of security stopping me from just climbing the stairs
Posted on 9/9/24 at 8:05 pm to tadman
i have been up several in SW Mississippi.....pretty cool, and not an easy climb, had to stop a few times.

I’ve climbed a few in Superior National Forest. You can do it!
Posted on 9/9/24 at 8:11 pm to tadman
Mt. Rainier National Park has a handful of them.

Nice. I didn't make it there. Much of Going to the Sun Rd was still closed due to snow.
Horse back would be sweet. When I'm older I want to do the Yosemite High Sierra Camps and get the mules to carry my gear.

Well I'll be damned!
We have a lake cabin just a few miles north of that tower. Photos taken by my son.

Have always loved those old fire towers. Get excited when I see one on a road trip
